Description Yep, I fell for the disease, I think you should too,

for [link] <-- totem pole project. Yes.. I am hopeing to win that subscription but Im submitting early, wich meens someone will mow my lawn like a thicket of dead leaves.

Yes, the rules state not to be wider then 79 pixels, but further down in the comments someone asks a question reguarding width, the reply made me at least think that this is ok, as the top and bottom of the totem remain the set 79 pixels. If they dont accept it, Ill just have to deal.

Time taken? Longer then intended, It was almost done last night (2 hours), then I realized... I had only used the colors on the totem base, and not the pallet provided below, so I had to go back and add the colors I missed wich drastically helped with the lighting. Believe it or not, this started as an angel.. it ended up a dryad. Go figure.

Its also a self portrait, Im shy, and often depressed, People think Im pretty, but all my life Ive lived as the ugly duckling, Nude because of societys expetations that my personal life needent be private, and the eye, signifying the publics ever watchful eyes on everything I do. I love this piece.

this totem works are very good but thers a little thing that can be better, the top of the totem need som texture i think. that can give some unity in the work(intergation of elements) i dont know if you undrestand me my english can be better.

This is really amazing You've probably been asked this a dozen times, but what kind of software do you use to make such pixel art? Where could I find a good tutorial to begin? Any tip welcome, thanks in advance!

Microsoft Paint, as simple as it gets, I work better with the more simple programs. I use paint shop pro 7 for color changes its much quicker to double click and replace the color then to have to right click in msp and scroll over to replace color.

Great tutorials are at [link] (bunnystick)

I have a few as well at autumn pixels [link]

Her beauty is accentuated by her sad experssion.

We call the tree with that kind of branches the weeping willow, maybe that's tha case in English, too? Even if it isn't it's a strange coincidence...

whoa sweet, i'm thinking you'll win, this is the most impressive submission i've seen.

and btw, what do you mean by "wich meens someone will mow my lawn like a thicket of dead leaves." i'm not familiar with that expression. The leaves and twicks must have taken quite a bit of time, it looks impressive. Well done!

Mistress-Jaeden In reply to zoanoid [2005-08-13 21:18:15 +0000 UTC]

"mow my lawn like a thicket of dead leaves" is kinda something I made up,

Basically what I ment was that someone would beat me by simply observing my work and seeing what they must improve to make a superior piece.

Very beautiful I love it XD It reminds me of some kind of hindu godess embedded in a tree for some reason. . .

And I really love the way you put that eye at the bottom. I didn't notice it at first, but then I saw it and I couldn't stop looking at it.

her boobies tormented me, first they looked squished cause I over emphasized the arm pressing them down, then I made them too robust, then I made the left one sink in to much again, finally I did this and said fuck it, The tree has implants, Works for me ^_^

You are so amazing jaeden you make the impossible look so easy with this piece,
I think the self expressing part of this piece should give you some bonus points in the contest, ^.~ Anyway you made me wonder how the "beta-angel" looks like, u might wanna upload it for? if u captured the progress that is.

Anyway, +fav im gonna enjoy this one for a while.
